Description

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth Rei Production Cel (Gainax, c. 1997). "Oh. I saved you." "Yeah. Don't you remember?" "No. I don't know about it. Because I think I'm probably the third one." Shinji is perplexed by Rei Ayanami's survival of a catastrophic encounter with the angel Armisael. The mysteries of Rei's existence begin to come to light in this moment seen at the 44:33 mark of the Neon Genesis Evangelion recap film Death and Rebirth. The image is very similar to the one seen in the episode "Tears," with slight variations. A spectacular closeup of the enigmatic Rei from a key scene, this hand-painted original production cel is a rare gem for any fan of the groundbreaking series. Neon Genesis Evangelion was instrumental in breathing new life in the anime industry in the mid- to late-90s. Widely celebrated for its complex characters, thought-provoking themes, and deconstruction of the long-held traditions of the mecha genre, this series set a high standard for anime that can be seen to this day. This large image of Rei measures a substantial 10.25" x 7.75" on the 12 field cel. Numbered C233 and A2 at the top edge, the cel is displayed on a printed background for presentation purposes, and it shows minor handling and edge wear from normal studio use. A rare cel exclusive to the Death and Rebirth recap film, the condition is Very Good.
